Note 231 — Chapter III · HARVEST FESTIVALS. The Thargelia, Kallynteria, Plynteria.
Reading edition
The sources for νηφάλια are well collected and discussed by Dr von Fritze, De Libatione veterum Graecorum, Berlin 1893, also by Stengel, Hermes XXII. p. 645, and ‘Chthonische und Totenkult’ in Festschrift für Friedländer, p. 418, and W. Barth, ‘Bestattungsspende bei den Griechen,’ Neue Jahrbücher für klass. Altertüm. 1900, p. 177. W. Barth draws distinctions between the cultus of the dead and that of chthonic divinities, which I think cannot be clearly made out.
